Will Ospreay: My AEW Schedule Is Full-Time, I Want To Be Here Every Single Week

Will Ospreay is ready to get to work full-time with AEW.

After signing with AEW in November, Will Ospreay wrapped up with NJPW and RevPro in February. He faced Michael Oku at RevPro's High Stakes event, and Khan was in attendance for the bout, which marked his final match on the independent scene before he joined AEW. Ospreay then wrestled at AEW Revolution, where he defeated Konosuke Takeshita.

During the AEW Revolution post-show media scrum, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp asked Tony Khan to share his thoughts on Ospreay's match after he had just watched him compete at RevPro. He also asked Ospreay to describe how much being able to stay in the United Kingdom meant in his decision to come to AEW. Additionally, Sapp asked Ospreay about what his schedule in AEW would look like. Tony Khan made it clear that he was impressed both by Ospreay's match at RevPro and his bout at AEW Revolution.

"It was a tremendous match. That was an amazing, amazing match for Will to finish up in RevPro, and after a great run in New Japan and RevPro, I thought Will versus Michael Oku was a great match, and I was really blown away by the quality of the wrestling but really the quality of people. I got to meet Will Ospreay’s family for the first time, which was really cool. The great things he said afterwards, it was just really kind. I thought the way he helped really set up his debut at AEW and also paid tribute to the great fans in the UK that helped him get to this place. It was a great thing, and it was great to be there. Of course, the match took a big toll I think physically, but knowing it’s Will Ospreay, I had high confidence he was gonna be here, be ready for Revolution, and he was everything we would have expected. The match was everything we would have expected. I thought Ospreay versus Takeshita delivered, Revolution delivered, and again I think Will Ospreay in AEW fits like a glove as you’re seeing here tonight," Khan said.

Ospreay then discussed how his family was very important to him, as he could not ask them to uproot their lives and move away from the United Kingdom. As for his schedule, he emphasized that he would be full-time with AEW, and he wanted to put on great matches every weeek. He then highlighted the depth of AEW's roster.

"I’m basically Wolverine, bruv, and I’ll be fine in a couple days. I’ll just deal up. What’s the question, what’s your schedule looking like? I’m in a relationship with another professional wrestler, Alex Windsor. She’s great, and now I’m in a position where I’m a a parent. The first time I told people, everyone went, ‘You?’ [Laughs] I can’t tell you enough what the girl and that kid have done for me. I wish I could be so open about what those two mean to me. They’ve gone through a lot for me, and I could not ask them to uproot their life, their school life. If you know my missus and you know her story, she’s gone through so much. She’s a genuine warrior. I could not have asked for a better partner to go through this whole thing. For her, I couldn’t have asked to do that. The majority of the travel, it’s so much less than Japan. Japan was like 15 hours at one point because there’s bloody going on in Russia and the Ukraine. We weren’t allowed to go through their airspace, we had to go underneath. It was horrible. So coming over here, it’s not actually as bad. I don’t mind it. My schedule is full-time, dude. I want to be here every single week, delivering the best matches that I physically can," Ospreay said.

Ospreay is set to face Kyle Fletcher on the March 6 episode of AEW Dynamite.
